    Hey guys,

    Until recently I hadn't been able to find any info on the 9650M GT but a bunch of specs and benchmarks have appeared on notebookcheck. I was wondering what you guys thought of the card and how much better than the 9650M GS it is.

    As usual, how will it run Crysis, and in general what kind of game performance could we expect from it?

    It scores 5600 on 3dmark 06, to the GS's 4800, despite requiring 6 less watts, at 23 watts.

    Finally, is it feasible to expect to see it in the next revisions of the MacBook Pros in September/October?

    Personally I don't know much about that GPU, but notebookcheck isn't a very reliable source to follow up on.

    So long as it's better than the 9650M GS I'm happy, but I'm hoping for pretty good real world Crysis performance when overclocking.
